Following on from our two year Living Lighter Project and by popular demand, we are excited to be offering this five session Climate Literacy Training course accredited by the Carbon Literacy Project! All participants who complete the course will have the opportunity to gain a Carbon Literacy Certificate.

This course is for anyone who is interested in learning more about and taking action on climate change, while gaining certification at the same time.

Through a series of online workshops, you will learn about the science of climate change, sustainability, and the carbon impacts of our actions. You will be equipped with the knowledge to make informed lower-carbon choices to make a real difference in the face of the climate emergency.

Led by experienced facilitator Pamela Candea of The Surefoot Effect, the workshops are designed to learn and explore concepts together in a friendly, supportive group.

"Pam’s approach to the sessions was warm and inviting and gave just the right balance and space for your mind to absorb the course information easily. The Carbon Literacy course was a helpful mixture of video, images, text, open discussion and breakout sessions. Each week new information was shared in digestible and bite-sized ways. I felt comfortable to be active in the group while putting forth my own opinions and listening to others. I now have a new understanding and appreciation of the importance of being clear on my own personal carbon footprint and that of my work place". - Previous participant
